I need a few cookie recipes calling for heavy whipping cream?

When I went to the store I recalled viewing some yummy cookie recipes calling for heavy whipping cream, so I bought two little cartons of heavy whipping cream. Now, I can't find the recipes and the heavy whipping cream will expire soon, so I need and would also like to bake some cookies that require heavy whipping cream. If you know of any good cookie recipes calling for heavy whipping cream, I'd be glad if you told me. Thanks!I need a few cookie recipes calling for heavy whipping cream?
